Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

with or without rum

Boil 4 heaped teaspoons of sugar with 80g of condensed milk until smooth (for a nice creamy consistency). Stir in a level teaspoon of cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, two heaped teaspoons of vanilla sugar, and a dash of chili powder with a little milk until smooth, then add to the mixture. Add the whole milk and the semi-skimmed milk, bring to a boil, dissolve the dark chocolate in it, and enjoy. For simplicity, you can also use semi-skimmed milk alone, but this ratio results in a wonderfully creamy consistency without being too rich. It also works great with a dash of rum! I’ve tried various types of rum with this recipe – the inexpensive Jamaican rum blend with a not-too-high alcohol content is the tastiest version for me.
